He is the same artist that will be doing the cover to Cherie Priest's novella <i> Clementine</i> for Sub Press later this year. <i>Clementine</i> book is part of the Clockwork Century world along with Boneshaker.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-29717927515559737242010-02-05T20:11:26.066-05:002010-02-05T20:11:26.066-05:00This is an excellent list (I'm glad I'm no...This is an excellent list (I'm glad I'm not the only one with mixed feelings about the 'classic Difference Engine! ;-), but you forgot to credit the Vernian Process for using their album cover as the header at the top :DNeverwherehttp://twitter.com/neverwherenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-90921346907557080562009-11-16T12:01:40.067-05:002009-11-16T12:01:40.067-05:00Thanks for the list -- I see a lot of favorites, b...Thanks for the list -- I see a lot of favorites, but some new things to check out as well.<br /><br />Won't slam you for not being crazy about The Anubis Gates, which I had mixed feelings about, but this isn't the only place lately where I've seen The Difference Engine get dissed and I don't get it - it was my first steampunk waybackwhen, and sure it's not a romp like some of these stories, but I think it's brilliant. *makes sad face*Cate Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807472913817420259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-41982205332517822612009-07-17T08:15:51.214-04:002009-07-17T08:15:51.214-04:00Thanks for all the feedback!

I had major problems with The Difference Engine when I tried to read it again.

I also like the Steampunk magazine (even shelled out to get paper copies, which was a little silly)<br /><br />I didn't like The Court of the Air very much. It was too gimmicky - he got caught up in telling a story about steampunk and forgot to actually tell a story. I also agree with your middlin' rating for Difference Engine. I think it is 'canon' as the two geniuses behind it DID come up with the steampunk idea, but as a story, it is pretty bleh.<br /><br />Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age is semi-steampunk, but is probably the most accurate representation of a fantasy Victorian Society (not just silly hats and steam).<br /><br />Michael Swanwick's The Iron Dragon's Daughter is good, if a little odd. <br /><br />I really like Jonathan Stroud's Bartimeus series. It is more young adult fantasy than outright steampunk, but for an alternate, magical, take on Victorian England, is very imaginative. Also, a terrific trilogy that'll make you laugh out loud.Jaredhttp://www.pornokitsch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-12473123911870939862009-07-15T11:02:09.366-04:002009-07-15T11:02:09.366-04:00I've read Court of the Air, it's good enou...I've read Court of the Air, it's good enough for it's type, but didn't really hook me in.<br /><br />There's a new book coming out next year called Candleman by Glenn Dakin it's Steampunk for younger readers.<br /><br />I've had an advance copy and rate it.Alistair Spaldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452520687676693285noreply@blogger.com
